![]() ![]() That’s why I never include them in my basics, I just get a couple and mix them in when I’m feeling it and replace them when I need a new ironic statement. I love graphic tees, but after a season or two I’m over it. I like to try out prints or embroidery or a textured piece, because those are typically the kinds of things that go out of style or I tend to get tired of quickly. My colorful pieces range in the cream, pink, green, and other muted colors area. I still stuck to somewhat of a color palette, though. I let my trendy pieces have more color and act as statement pieces to complement my basics. This is purely personal preference, but I do find it makes it easier to mix and match. You can see that most of my basic pieces in my capsule are neutral colors. So, you can shop at Target, but really check the quality on those clothes before you let them in. You don’t want the cheapest of the cheap for any of your clothing, because that’s not going to be a piece that looks good, holds up well, or is very good for the environment. My recommendation: Invest in the basics, go cheap-ish on the fun pieces. And, if you happen to get tired of any of your fun pieces, you can switch them out for a new one. Oh, and a handy dandy checklist for your new year round capsule wardrobe you’re sure to want.ĥ2 pieces for a wholeeee year sounds a heck of a lot better to me. I made an example that is pretty darn close to what I actually own in my year round capsule. My basic pairs could be skinny jeans and straight leg jeans, and my fun pair could be a pair of kick flare jeans.ĭon’t worry, though. ![]() But, I am allowed to buy or own one extra pair of jeans in a cut that may not be as versatile or will go out of style in a couple of years. Finally, I took each item of clothing and added the option for a set number of trendy or extra clothing of that type.įor example, I allow myself 4 pairs of jeans in my closet for a year. Then, I figured out the minimum amount of each type of clothing I would need in a year, taking into account seasons. I love my basics, but I didn’t want to restrict myself to just basics. So, I came up with a year round capsule that would allow me the best of both worlds. Your closet needs to work for you, not someone else. I simply cannot commit to an entirely basic wardrobe. I like to have a little fun with trends or vintage pieces or just new styles I want to try out. I loveeee my white t-shirt but I can’t say I’m going to love it after I’ve worn it three times this week and it’s got weeks old pit stains that won’t come out. ![]() It’s not a lot, once you start thinking about it. I don’t know about you, but the idea of only 30-40 items for an entire year makes me start sweating. I finally settled on the idea of a year round capsule wardrobe, on my terms. I tried the whole “I only own 40 pieces of clothing for the rest of my life” schtick too. Then, I tried the 5 piece capsule wardrobe (can you say “Crazy!”). I started out trying those seasonal capsule wardrobes. After playing around with capsule wardrobes for a few years now, I think I’ve got a handle on what exactly I want out of my closet. ![]()
